Her mother, Judy Cedillo, and Leonardo Pereira, a man police identified only as one of the child's primary caregivers, are accused in the death, authorities said.

On Monday, Houston police were sent to a home in the 8100 block of Mills Road to meet with Houston firefighters. Upon arrival, the officers were told paramedics had taken Alyssa to an area hospital, authorities said.

Hospital staff said she had multiple fractures, trauma to her head and bruises. She was then taken to Texas Children's Hospital, where she died, officials said.

On Wednesday, Houston police questioned Cedillo, 20, and Pereira, 27, about the death.

Both were taken into custody and later charged with injury to a child-serious bodily injury, police said.

Cedillo is being held at the Harris County Jail on $100,000 bail. Pereira's bond amount wasn't known Friday.
